I don't know if it is just my council or if it is a common problem, but reps just don't make meetings!
Yesterday my co-leader was supposed to meet with our council rep for her adult training. She gets to McDonalds at 5:15 because she had her daughter and figures that they would get dinner. She was supposed to meet the rep at 5:30.
5:45 I get a text saying that the rep is not here yet, WTH!
I know that the rep knows that she is supposed to be there because I sent her an email earlier in the day with a troop roster and to let her know the Miss B is going to have a new girl registration and check. She acknowledged that she would see B there.
And I know that Miss B is getting angrier with every passing minute.
5:55 she sends me a text saying she is leaving, and quiet frankly, I don't blame her.
Ten minutes later my phone is ringing.
Our rep called her and asked if she was running late. Miss B said she had sat there for 45 minutes before she left and that she was not coming back.
And really you can not expect a child to sit for 45 minutes and then go back and sit longer. Even the best kid will have trouble with that.
Turns out that the Rep was sitting there the whole time. Unfortunately Miss B had never met the rep before. And I guess the rep didn't know what she looked like either.
Miss B offers to do it again next week and is told that it would be the 24th before the rep can come back and do the training.
BUT this is not the first time that this has happened!
Once with a different rep, my co-leader of the time and I sat for an hour waiting for a rep to meet with us. We called her several times, sent text messages and did not hear anything from her until the next day when she said that she had forgotten about us.
It is absolutely frustrating. These are supposed to be the PAID people who are there to help you and they can't be bothered to make a meeting or a phone call or even get up from her seat and walk around looking for someone.
As is becoming my mantra, "Thank god the girls are awesome!"
